Windows Authentication option not available in IIS (Server 2012)

Per our Web Server Configuration document, you should disable Anonymous Access and turn ON Windows Authentication for our products to work properly via IIS.

If ‘Windows Authentication’ isn’t showing as an option when configuring your virtual directory in IIS, it means the feature is not yet installed on your server.

There is a relevant Microsoft article:

Install or Uninstall Roles, Role Services or Features

Unfortunately, this article only gives an overview and doesn’t include the drill down to find Windows Authentication. All the steps are detailed concisely below.

====To add the feature in Windows 2012:
